I looked at my watch. “I think I’d better go check on Sierra. We should probably leave in a few minutes.”
Cole and I said our goodbyes, and I stood to go check on my woman.
Sierra
“You really don’t need to fuss,” Asher said as he folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the doorjamb. “You look beautiful.”
Oh, God, Iwasfussing, and I knew it.
Luckily, I’d let Asher buy me some new clothing, and I’d picked up a little more makeup.
Still, I hadn’t gotten much except a few decent tops to wear with jeans.
I’d only picked up the things I really needed to get out more with Asher.
I’d put on my nicest top, a cute retro blouse with a flowy fit.
Yes, I was still Asher’s housekeeper, but everyone was making me feel like a valued guest instead of just a woman who was tagging along with Asher.
All of the Remington women had texted me to let me know how excited they were to see me, and Millie had gushed because I was attending my first family dinner.
There was also the fact that Asher and I were sleeping together, and he did absolutely nothing to hide it.
He touched me like a lover, and he didn’t hide his affection.
Truthfully, I loved it. I’d probably feel horrible if he hid it like he didn’t want anyone to know.
However, his family wasn’t blind, and they’d definitely notice.
“I just want to look nice,” I said with a sigh.
He strode over to me and kissed my temple. “Mission accomplished…a long time ago.”
I looked up at him and smiled. “Thanks.”
God, he was a stunning man.
He was wearing nice jeans and a long-sleeved Henley that looked expensive and classy on him.
The dark-green color suited him.
“If you don’t stop smiling at me like that, we’re going to be late,” he said in a deep, warning voice that didn’t sound completely like a joke.
I couldn’t stop myself from pulling his head down for a brief kiss.
My body responded to his insistent mouth almost immediately.
God, we should probably be worn out from the last few nights, but I was only getting to know how much I’d been missing.
“We can’t be late,” I said breathlessly as he released my lips.
“Then you better move your gorgeous ass downstairs,” he said dangerously.
I giggled as I picked up my bag and put my lipstick into it. “I forgot to tell you that I got offered two more projects today. Great offers from popular authors. One is an author I worked with before I blew up my career. I’d really like to work with her again.”
“Do it,” he encouraged.
I let out a long breath. “I’m getting a lot of work offers. Maybe more than I can handle with my housekeeping job. I have to be picky about what I take now.”
